<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <title></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

To place 2 divs near eachother wrap them in another div and set display to 'flex'

<div id="maindiv'>
   <div id='first'>
      //content here
   </div>
   <div id='second'>
      //content here
   </div>
</div>

in css

#maindiv {
  display: flex;
  width: 500px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  overflow: hidden;
}
#first {
  width: 300px;
}
#second {

}

}
<div id='maindiv'>
  <div id='first'>first</div>

You can use display:inline-block as div element display is set to block by default

.parent {
  background: red;
  height: 50px;
  width: 50px;
  margin: 10px;
  display: inline-block
}
<div class="parent">

</div>
<div class="parent">

</div>
<div class="parent">

</div>
<div class="parent">

</div>
<div class="parent">

</div>
<div class="parent">

</div>
<div class="parent">

</div>
<div class="parent">

</div>

From your current code I could just guess that problem is with display, try this

#maindiv {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 500px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    overflow: hidden;
}
